My dad and I went hunting one Saturday morning. It was about eight in the morning when a nice eight pointer comes out from a dry bed. My dad said to get ready cause he was goint to try and call him in. After a few grunts the buck comes out about thirty yards. I come to a full draw and out goes my arrow. Boom my arrow hits a limb on a tree. The nice buck was never to be seen again. I look at my dad and he smiles and says, thats bowhunting buddy. Well after a short meal we head back out to our ground blind. It was about two o clock. At three o clock my dad says a nilgai cow was coming our way.I got ready and the nilgai cow spotted my movement. She stopped turn and headed back the way she was coming in. I was like there went my chance at harvesting an animal for this season. An hour passed when a nilgai bull was coming our way. He was coming in fast. He stopped at twenty three yard facing striaght at me. My dad said to draw and wait for him to get broadside. A minute passed and no one would move. I whispered to my dad that I could not hold it anymore. He said wait just a litlle longer. I was like I cant. So he gave me the go. I tell you all he had not finished the word go when my arrow was flying striaght at his chest. Down went the bull then got up and ran thirty yards till it ran no more. My dad and I jumped about five feet high.  Wow what a season for me with two bow kills

Just thought I would share the biggest deer I have ever shot.  Not to mention with my bow.  My son was not sure what to think of the ole buck.  I think my taxidermist did a very good job especially for $50.00.   By the way, if you can tell the color of the horns,  they are not dyed.  Everyone who has seen the deer ask if they were.

It was my second year at the refuge. I was hoping to shoot something this year and not miss like last year.It was almost time to head home. I was getting worried that i was not going to shot something this year to. I had just started to pick up my things when i felt something was staring at me. I turned around and there it was standing and staring at me. It was 8 yards away from me. I got my bow and drew. It started to walk in the woods so i made a noise and it stopped. pufff!!!! my arrow was off. it was a double lung shot. It took off and fell 20 yards from where i shot it. It was one of the best days of my life.

NEW LEASE SEEING WHATS CREEPING AROUND

shot this javi the begining of bow season.

Nice buck...I'd say 3.5 YO, but its really hard to tell from the one photo - he might be older than that. 

I knew a guy in ETX that leased 145 ac, and between he, his wife, and son took 4 or 5 good bucks off there in about 3 years, all by bow - they thought it was a 'buck sanctuary' where the big boys would hide out pre and post rut.  It would be interesting how many bucks stay on your place around the rut.

Friend of mine Wayne Bowman took this southeast Colorado Whitetail Buck yesterday with his Mathews. Congrates Wayno good deer   you can take a whitetail or Muley in this unit

Got my first bow kill 10/21/2011 it was a 100 lbs. doe 12 yard shot in the spine dropped in her tracks, you talk about feel the rush baby.
